Fat China for under two quid at the Amazon.co.uk New Year sale

Posted: January 8th, 2013 | No Comments »

Bargains, bargains, bargains…roll up, roll up and get yourself a deal people. Amazon.co.uk are having their new year sale and they’ve got (topical for many after the gut busting Xmas lunches) our book Fat China: How Expanding Waistlines are Changing a Nation for under two quid – that’s less than a Happy Meal at McJunk, cheaper than fried chicken at KFCrap or even an over -sweet, over fatty coffee at Starcraps…how can you resist a treat like that? – for the same price as a couple of Snickers bars, a cheap Tesco Ready Meal, half a dozen deep fried youtiao on the street (though we admit those are really good!!) and certainly less than a kebab on the way home tonight (should you be reading this in North London).

All that knowledge, all those years of research, thought and pounding the streets of China on your behalf for just under two quid!! What can you get from McKinsey for two quid, PWC, some research company that turned up three weeks ago and claims to be able “get inside” China, some shonky consultancy that was set up last weekend by two MBAs who don’t even shave yet (we didn’t name one as they’re so many to choose from)? Some supposed “China Hand” in London or New York who last went to Shanghai when Pudong was paddy fields? Nothing, niche, nada – but we are offering a combined 55 years (or thereabouts) of hard fought China experience for one pound 79p – a bargain the like of which you will never see again!!
